Vat 69

Vat 69 is one of the most famous historic brands of blended Scotch whisky, created in the late 19th century. Its founder, William Sanderson, an Edinburgh spirits merchant, blended over one hundred different whiskies in 1882 and had them judged by a panel of experts. The sample chosen as the finest was cask number 69—hence the name Vat 69.

The whisky quickly gained worldwide popularity, exported from India to America and Australia, becoming a symbol of British spirits abroad. Today, Vat 69 remains a classic in the blended Scotch whisky category, representing approachable quality with the hallmark style of Scottish whisky.
